It was the culmination of three years of work securing a little less than an acre of land near Homeless No More’s St. Lawrence Place transitional housing, then building the homes with $2.5 million in federal funding secured through S.C. Housing and $50,000 from financial partner Truist. The new space offers mixed-income housing in two- or three-bedroom units between 1,100 and 1,500 square feet. The rent will vary based on the median income for each unit, ranging from $299 to $900. The nonprofit said every unit will be filled by the end of the month.
